WELCOME TO CITIZEN – THE PEOPLE’S BURGER BAR.
There are certain basic freedoms we hold dear. For one, the enjoyment of a great burger and a beer with
friends. This is America, after all… a delicious burger is your right – perhaps even your responsibility.
Since nothing’s simpler than a burger, we aim to keep things pretty straightforward and let ours speak
for themselves. We’ve teamed up with a few nearby farms, and they keep it simple too – no hormones,
nothing artificial, we’re talking happy grass-fed cows and free-range chickens here. We hope you’ll agree:
if you’re going to eat meat, that’s the way to do it. (To check out some of the farms we work with, see the
QR codes below.)
While we’re proud of the menu, we must say the bar is no slouch, either… We’ve stocked our coolers
with a huge curated collection of beers, many of them locally born-and-bred, and we’ve come up with
some pretty inspired cocktails. Our wise and benevolent bar staff can recommend the perfect libation to
complement your meal or your mood – just ask ‘em.
Our vision is anything but complicated: we believe in good food, cold drinks, and common ground. We
know we’re not alone on that – and that’s how Citizen came to be. This is the people’s burger bar.
